Hi @Tasia,
So sorry you've been having such a horrible time. In the past, because I was physically strong and healthy, my mental strength was able to allow me to get back up again with each of life's beatings. BC diagnosis shock, treatment and drug side effects since diagnosis November 2019, have left me without that mental or physical resilience for now. So, I've started seeing a counsellor as well as trying to do the best I can re exercise and diet. I'm not winning yet, but I'm glad I finally asked for help. My GP gave me a Mental Health Plan which subsidises some of the cost of the counsellor. Always priding myself on my independence and self-sufficiency has resulted in the opposite of a support network and helpers around me. I still work full-time, care for my elderly parent and support my adult son...Soldiering on as if nothing has happened has not been good for me. What I'm getting at is - you need to rest, recover, ask for help. If it's possible to stop or reduce your work hours or take much needed sick leave, do it now!
I made a new discussion with the link to those recordings. It sounds like you have too much on your plate at the moment, so just watch them when you have time. Nothing very momentos in the discussions, but so good to know we live in a country with the people and resources who can and do make BC their focus, and who try to make a difference.
